What should I avoid eating if I have chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis is a difficult disease to cure, which makes many patients suffer. The long duration of the disease not only causes health problems for patients, but also creates a psychological burden. Many men become depressed because of this. These patients must be actively treated, and they must pay attention to regulating their emotions and cooperate with diet. However, many people do not know what to avoid eating for chronic prostatitis. Eating the wrong food can be very troublesome. Let me introduce it to you below.

1. It is best not to eat spicy food for chronic prostatitis: irritating foods such as green onions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and peppers can cause blood vessel dilation and organ congestion. Some patients with chronic prostatitis have the habit of eating spicy food. They can still control themselves when the symptoms are severe, but they relapse when the symptoms are relieved. This is also an important reason for the prolongation and difficulty in curing prostatitis. Therefore, in order to avoid long-term and repeated chronic congestion of prostate tissue, it is necessary to avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy food. Chronic prostatitis patients must overcome these bad habits, especially in the remission period of the disease, so as not to aggravate the condition due to temporary pleasure and cause long-term pain.

2. Chronic prostatitis should avoid eating irritating foods: patients with prostatitis are very sensitive to irritating foods. It is common in clinical practice for patients with prostatitis to have urinary incontinence after eating irritating foods. This may be because irritating foods stimulate the body after entering the human body, causing the already diseased prostate to become congested and swollen, and compressing the urethra. Common irritating foods include: dog meat, mutton, sparrow meat, venison, pork head meat, leeks, garlic sprouts, etc. These are foods that cannot be eaten by patients with prostatitis.

3. Chronic prostatitis should not drink alcohol: Alcohol is a kind of drink that has the effect of vasodilation. Alcohol can cause congestion of internal organs, and the prostate is no exception. Since some young people have the habit of long-term drinking or even alcoholism, it is not easy to cure chronic prostatitis. Even if it is cured, it is very easy to relapse. Therefore, patients with prostatitis should abstain from alcohol.

4. Patients with chronic prostatitis should not smoke: Cigarettes are harmful to health. Toxic substances such as alkaloids, tar, nitrosamines, carbon monoxide, etc. in cigarettes can not only directly poison prostate tissue, but also interfere with the nerve function that controls blood vessels, affect the blood circulation of the prostate, and aggravate prostate congestion.

The above content introduces the issue of what to avoid eating for chronic prostatitis. It is hoped that patients should avoid eating these things during the treatment period, and should pay attention to actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment, maintain a good attitude, and eat more food that is good for the body. Millet, tofu, eggs, and winter melon are all relatively diuretic foods, which are good for patients. In addition, drink more water.
